Constructing static quark-anti-quark creation operators from Laplacian eigenmodes
arXiv:2212.08485 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.107.034511
Abstract
We investigate static quark anti-quark operators based on trial states formed from eigenvectors of the covariant three-dimensional lattice Laplace operator. We test the method by computing the static quark-anti-quark potential and comparing results to standard Wilson loop measurements. The new method is efficient not only for on-axis, but also for many off-axis quark-anti-quark separations when a fine spatial resolution is required. We further improve the ground-state overlap by using multiple eigenvector pairs, weighted with Gaussian profile functions of the eigenvalues, providing a variational basis. The method presented here can be applied to potential functions for all possible excitations of a gluonic string with fixed ends, hybrid or tetra-quark potentials, as well as static-light systems and allows visualization of the spatial distribution of the Laplace trial states.
